Billy Hearst

We got to the beach house late and just turned the heat up and went to bed.  We were up early (for us) the next morning and ate a small breakfast at the bottom of the hill.  We got on our tour for Hearst Castle on time and took the tours that went around the big house.

They've changed it since we had been last.  Now the tours are self guided amongst the gardens, and that makes the actual inside tours much shorter.  We spent our time as wisely as possible, and I got hundreds of photographs from inside.  Our second tour guide was an amazing source of information on not only Hearst, but all the items inside the house.

After the tour we drove down the PCH to Hollywood, where we stayed in the kitchiest, most retro style hotel.  I took tons of pictures of it too, and we enjoyed the room and all the Hollywood star pictures.  It was right by Mann's Chinese Theater, but we got there so late we just ate and went to bed.
